Changing Depth Buffer Comparison Functions

By default, when depth-testing is performed on a rendering surface, the Microsoft?Direct3D?system updates the render-target surface if the corresponding depth value (z or w) for each point is less than the value in the depth buffer. In a C++ application, you change how the system performs comparisons on depth values by calling the IDirect3DDevice9::SetRenderState method with the State parameter set to D3DRS_ZFUNC. The Value parameter should be set to a value in the D3DCMPFUNC enumerated type.
